Arthur Washington Bramhall (February 22, 1909 – September 4, 1985) was an American baseball player. He played for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1935 and also played professional basketball and football.
Early years
Bramhall was born in 1909 in Oak Park, Illinois, and attended Oak Park High School. He then attended DePaul University.[1]
Professional athlete
He played professional baseball from 1930 to 1935, including two games in Major League Baseball with the 1935 Philadelphia Phillies.[1] He was known for his fielding, rather than batting. At the time of his promotion to the Phillies, The Capital Times wrote: "Bramhall is a fine fielder, fast and possesses a splendid throwing arm, and if he can hit at a .250 clip he will remain with the Phils all season."[2]
His minor league career included stints with the Springfield Senators (1930),[1] Harrisburg Senators (1932),[1] Binghamton Triplets (1932),[1] and Madison Blues (1934).[3]
He also played professional basketball and football, making him one of the few athletes who ever played at the professional level in all three sports.[4]
Later years
After his career as an athlete ended, Bramhall and his wife operated a restaurant and bar in Madison, Wisconsin, from 1939 to 1971.[4] He was also a sports broadcaster in Madison in the 1940s.[5] Bramhall did in 1985 at age 76 in Madison.[4]
